Hi sifus,

I have this really old HP mechanical keyboard dated about 10 years ago and i really love this keyboard. But this keyboard is using p/s2 and i wish to hook it up to my laptop.

Bought a ps2 to usb adapter, works fine but suffers greatly in ghosting. Any advise to keep my lovely keyboard? sad.gif

Yar, thats the problem with most chapalang ps/2 to usb adapter.

You had 2 hopes(or more but unidentified).
There are 2 brands of ps/2 to usb adapter that being tried to work almost flawlessly(but mind you if the ghosting is caused/limited by the keyboard itself, the adapter also can't help you).

You should now start searching for Belkin ps2 to usb adapter or Blue cube(a generic blue and cubic adapter). Those two are documented to work with most KB.

I not sure bout blue cube but for belkin, you can get them(only 2nd hand one) at around 15RMB(unshipped) in Taobao, China. Shipping will cost you alot more so better get them together with other items to justify the shipping cost.

The one i had looked like this: http://i.imgur.com/neDaT.jpg It looked similar to what you mentioned though.
Saying it is ghosting is partially correct. Its more like, when you holding a key, pressing another key will stop both key from registering. Very annoying especially in FPS game.
